AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Japanese alarm clock Seiko model Corona Fancy, produced in the 1960s–1970s, is a unique piece within mid-century modern design.
Made of intense red bakelite, its casing features smooth lines and a compact shape that combines functionality with a pronounced decorative character. Bakelite, the precursor material to modern plastics, provides durability, heat resistance, and a glossy finish that has aged gracefully.
The front is adorned with golden ornamental motifs around the dial, which features Roman numerals and stylized hands, including a seconds hand. The inscription '7 Jewels' indicates the presence of synthetic rubies in the mechanism, used to reduce friction and increase accuracy, confirming its quality as a high-end mechanical watch.
This model, now difficult to find in this format, embodies the spirit of post-war Japanese watchmaking: technical precision, attractive design, and durability. Its perfect functioning and aesthetic preservation make it highly valued by vintage watch collectors, retro design enthusiasts, and fans of mid-century modern style.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
